Former Norristown, Pennsylvania, Prosecutor Fights for Rights of Those Accused of Crimes
At the Law Office of Henry S. Hilles, III in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, you will find an experienced, knowledgeable and professional attorney who is dedicated to providing clients with outstanding criminal defense representation.
Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Attorney
Clients benefit from my experience as a Montgomery County prosecutor. I "speak the language" of prosecutors, which means that I know what they look for in preparing criminal cases, I know how they seek to overcome weaknesses in their cases, and I know when they are overcharging or unfairly "throwing the book" at a defendant. I will carefully review every aspect of the state's evidence against you to find weaknesses to exploit in preparing a successful defense. The knowledge I have gained in my years as a prosecutor and a defense attorney enables me to develop strong defenses on behalf of my clients.
Practice Areas
- DUI defense overview: See the DUI defense portion of my website for detailed information about the scope of my DUI defense practice.
- Drug crimes: I zealously defend people against state and federal drug charges, including felony drug offenses and misdemeanor drug offenses and minors in possession. My work has helped a significant number of my clients gain entry into the Section 17 Probation program, which helps them avoid a drug conviction even if the evidence is against them.
- Federal criminal defense: The scope of my practice includes defending clients accused of federal crimes, including white collar crimes and Internet crimes. It is extremely important in situations like these to retain an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer as soon as you know you are under investigation for a federal crime. Given the complex nature of white collar and Internet crimes, you need an attorney with the experience and resources to utilize expert witnesses effectively.
- Crimes of violence, including homicide and assault and domestic violence, require an attorney who is skilled in careful evaluation of all evidence related to the alleged crime, who can track down all potential witnesses, and who is skilled in finding and revealing flaws in witness testimony and evidence.
- Sex crimes, such as sexual assault, child molestation, indecent exposure, unlawful touching and statutory rape carry sentences that can destroy your life and the lives of your closest family members. I will leave no stone unturned in your defense.
- Juvenile crimes: A juvenile charged with a crime, including DUI, needs a strong, experienced advocate and guide through the system to prevent his or her adult life from being adversely affected.
- Retail theft, larceny and shoplifting: From shoplifting to armed robbery, I have provided vigorous and effective defense for my clients accused of all theft charges.
- Misdemeanors: If you are convicted of misdemeanor crimes, you may experience long-term consequences beyond jail time and fines. Your educational and employment opportunities may also be impacted. No conviction is minor. Contact me to help you fight the charges.
- Traffic violations: From speeding tickets to reckless driving allegations, a citation may add points to your driving record and increase your insurance premiums.
Norristown Criminal Record Expungement
I also assist clients in clearing their criminal records (expungement), including juvenile records, and I can perform this important step for your peace of mind and future.
- Personal injury: In addition to criminal defense, I represent clients who have been injured by the negligent acts of others in car accidents, truck accidents and other motor vehicle accidents. My personal injury clients also include victims of medical malpractice.
